Q

What pathogens are involved in summer mastitis complex

vector for transmission?

at risk animals ?

A

D. dysgalactiae and T pyogenes (used for C and s)

vector: hydrotea irritans

dry cows and heifers in summer

Hot, hard, swollen udder with thick purulent secretion
Lameness and systemic illness possible
Mild cases do occur and are only noticed as cow calved down with blind teat end or with a mild case of mastitis from which T. Pyogenes is cultured

damage to teat end+ secondary infection with fusobacterium necrophorum
common

Which teat lesion is this
treatment?

A

black spot
topical abs, teat canula

check milk machine for excess vaccum causing teat end eversion

22
Q

pustular lesions on teat and udder skin
can spread to humans
caused by staphylococcus aureus

Which teat lesion is this
treatment?

A

udder/teat impetigo

PMTD, aseptic udder cream

23
Q

non pigmented skin (white) affected
Which teat lesion is this
treatment?

A

photosensitisation

sunblock, NSAIDs, keep indoors

24
Q

caused by poor teat skin care, worn teat liners, calves suckling

Which teat lesion is this
treatment?

A

chapped teats

emollients, teat canula

change liners every 2500 milkinga

25
Q

caused by excessive vacuum, overmilking, faulty liners,

everted teat ends and degrees of keratosis
- graded normal, smooth, rough and very rough

Which teat lesion is this
treatment?

A

hyperkeratosis

26
Q

what degrees of keratosis increase risk of mastitis

A

rough or very rough

27
Q

Pedunculated granuloma attached to wall of teat canal, blocking milk flow

Which teat lesion is this
treatment?

A

Teat pea

removal via hudson spiral / mosquito forcep removal

ABs to prevent mastitis

28
Q

usually occurs secondary to trauma,
has guarded prognosis as scar tissue may reform
treated by inserting small knife and rotating + resting with canula + im antibiotics for 3-5 days

Which teat lesion is this
treatment?

A

teat stenosis

29
Q

with blind teats, how should you treat

  • if no milk:
  • if milk:
A
  • if no milk: leave as cannot open

- if milk: treat as per stenosis as lesion is in canal

30
Q

should you suture a superficial wound on teat?

A

no, use tape or glue

31
Q

at what age does LA required to remove supernumerary teat (inherited condition)?

A

> 2 months

ONLY REMOVE IF CERTAIN ITS SUPERNUMERARY

32
Q

does pre milking teat dipping protect against environmental or contagion pathogens?

A

environmental

33
Q

does post milking teat dipping protect against environmental or contagion pathogens?

A

contagion

34
Q

4 components of teat dips

A

disinfectants: iodine/ chlorhexidine/ lactic acid
emollients: ianolin, glycerine for skin condition
dye
sticking agents

35
Q

what is the correct order to milk cows

A

least likely to be infected to most likely

heifers> fresh calvers> high yielder> low yielders> high somatic cell count cows> mastitis cows

36
Q

if staphylococcus aureus is present, what should be done in the parlour wash up routine?

A

hot wash ( > 60) every milking

37
Q

What are the following housing indexes?

CCI
SUI
SSI

A

CCI = cow comfort index= no cows correctly in cubical/ no cows in cubicle X100

SUI= stall use time 
SSI= stall standing time
38
Q

what is a bulk tank bactoscan?

A

count of bacteria in bulk tank milk

> 50000 exclused from supermarket until below 50000 for 3 months

39
Q

what is the california mastitis test?

A

quick milk SCC test

40
Q

interpretation of individual cell counts

A
  • <100,000 cells/ml = no infection likely
  • 100-200,000 cells/ml = likely one infected quarter with minor pathogen
  • > 200,000 cells.ml = infected quarter with major pathogen
  • If bulk milk tank >400,000 there is a risk the dairy will not collect the milk
41
Q
